The above-mentioned measures means that
the cylinder head cover is not directly coupled
with the cylinder head. It is, therefore, “insula-

The securing bolts must be tightened
uniformly in the specified order to
prevent distortion of the cylinder
head cover and to ensure that the
seal is completely air-tight.
Always refer to the information given
in the repair manual.
Cylinder-head cover seal
The thin-wall cylinder head covers are made
of a die-cast magnesium alloy. A seal concept,
which decouples the cylinder head cover from
the cylinder head, improves the acoustics of
the engine.
The bolted connections of the cylinder head
cover have decoupling elements.
A seal, which is similar to a radial shaft oil
seal, is used for the spark-plug shaft.
